Precision Gait Analysis and Event Detection Using IMUs: A Comparative Evaluation with Insole Pressure Readings

Neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), and strokes significantly contribute to disability worldwide and are the major cause of balance disorders. The TeleRehaB Decision Support System (DSS) is a clinical tool that uses artificial intelligence and wearable and IoT devices to improve telerehabilitation for balance disorders patients. It evaluates prognostic factors, therapeutic efficacy, patient outcomes, and potential adverse effects, and customizes rehabilitation plans based on factors like disorder type, intervention intensity, technology utilization, and patient compliance. The results showed strong positive correlations, especially in two-way tasks, indicating advanced predictive capabilities.Clinical Relevance-The study introduces a new approach to managing balance disorders, particularly neurological deficits, using AI and wearable technologies. This system improves balance and gait analysis precision, offering personalized rehabilitation plans, potentially leading to better outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
